RCI is responsible only for the written representations that it makes concerning RCI and the RCI Points Exchange Program, and is not responsible for any other representations made by any other person or entity. 3. CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP. a. Conditions Precedent. In order for any Member or Participant to make a Reservation in the Network, the following conditions must be met: i. For RCI Points Members: 1. The Member must be party to a Network Participation Agreement and the agreement must have been accepted by the Network Administrator. The Network Administrator reserves the right to refuse any Network Participation Agreement and applicable fees presented to it; 2. The Vacation Time Deposited or sought to be Deposited by the Member must be located at an Affiliated Resort in good standing in the Network. The Network Administrator may elect, in its sole discretion, to allow Vacation Time to be Deposited that is not from an Affiliated Resort; 3. The Member must be current on all applicable Network Dues; and 4. The Member must be current on all Vacation Time Expenses, and the Affiliated Resort at which such Member owns Vacation Time must have lifted any maintenance fee block placed on the Member s account. ii. For Participants: 1. The Participant must be a party to a Participant Agreement accepted by the Network Administrator; and 2. The applicable dues must have been submitted to the Network Administrator by, or on behalf of, the person. b. Enrollment. Network Participation Agreements are only valid if entered into in the name of the lawful owner of the Vacation Ownership. The Network Administrator may require that any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity holding title to Vacation Ownership, other than a natural individual, designate an individual who shall be the exclusive beneficiary of, and exercise membership rights on behalf of, such enterprise. The Network Administrator may require separate subscribing memberships for multiple owners of a single Vacation Ownership and may limit how multiple owners may exercise rights of membership in certain circumstances, except as set forth in the Network Participation Agreement. The Member agrees that if any information contained in the Network Participation Agreement is incorrect, the Member will accept a notice of changed information from the Network Administrator as conclusive evidence of the correct information, and such notice shall be effective to amend the Network Participation Agreement. The period for which a Member is enrolled as a Member of the Network is set forth in the Network Participation Agreement. c. Enrollment Fee. The Network Administrator may charge an enrollment fee payable upon commencement of membership, the amount of which may vary from time to time and among Members. d. Network Dues. The Member shall pay Network Dues in an amount determined by the Network Administrator at its sole discretion. The amount of Network Dues may vary from time to time and among Members. Network Dues paid by an RCI Points Member include a subscription fee for the External Exchange Program. 4. RCI POINTS VALUATION. All Vacation Time and Partner Inventory are assigned an RCI Points value by the Network Administrator. The assigned value is determined by the Network Administrator in its sole discretion and is based upon factors including, but not limited to, supply and demand of Vacation Time at the Affiliated Resort, Unit type, seasonality, and historical occupancy percentages, season, and availability and type of core amenities at the Affiliated Resort. The Network Administrator may revalue Vacation Time and Partner Inventory from time to time, which may lead to an increase or decrease in the assigned RCI Point value for that Vacation Time or Partner Inventory. If the RCI Point Value assigned to a Deposit increases or decreases as a result of such revaluation, the Network Administrator may increase or decrease the RCI Point Value assigned to the Deposit, at its sole discretion. 5. RCI POINTS ALLOCATION, USE YEAR. a. Each year Members are allocated a specific number of RCI Points in exchange for the Deposit of Vacation Time into the Network Depository. Members may receive the RCI Points allocation only upon fulfilling the conditions precedent set forth in the Participation Agreement. RCI Points are symbolic of the ability to make certain Reservations for the use and enjoyment of Vacation Time and Partner Inventory through the Network during a particular Use Year. b. The initial allocation of RCI Points to a Member is determined when the Member makes its first Deposit into the Network Depository. Subsequent allocations occur upon the Deposit of additional Vacation Time. Once a Member has been assigned RCI Points for each Vacation Time Deposit subject to a Participation Agreement, the amount of RCI Points will not change, and Members will be allocated the same number of RCI Points each Use Year for each Vacation Time Deposit unless the Network Administrator increases or decreases the RCI Point value of that Vacation Time. If the Network Administrator increases or decreases the RCI Point value of the Members Vacation Time, the RCI Points allocated to that Member will increase or decrease by the same amount. c. The number of RCI Points which a Member receives annually is the aggregate of RCI Points allocated to the Member. The number of RCI Points which a Participant receives for his or her time of participation is the amount set forth in the Participant s agreement. d. The Use Year for each Member is the annual recurring twelve (12) month period, set forth in the Participant s agreement. The Member s Use Year shall begin on the date determined by the Network Administrator. THE MEMBER MAY LOSE THE USE OF RCI POINTS THAT ARE NOT USED TO MAKE A RESERVATION IN THE NETWORK WITHIN A GIVEN USE YEAR IF THE MEMBER FAILS TO USE ANY OR ALL ASSIGNED RCI POINTS DURING THE USE YEAR AND DOES NOT TRANSFER OR SAVE THOSE RCI POINTS. IN THE EVENT OF SUCH FAILURE BY THE MEMBER THE POINTS ARE DEEMED TO EXPIRE AT THE END OF THAT USE YEAR. 6. RESERVATIONS. a. Reservation Requests. A Member may request a Reservation any time after the Network Administrator accepts that Member s Network Participation Agreement. A Member shall only be permitted to make a Reservation through the Network if the Member is current in any and all obligations owed to the Network Administrator, his/her membership is otherwise valid and he or she is otherwise in compliance with the Network Documents. b. RCI Points Usage, Priority. In order to make a Reservation for use of particular Vacation Time or of a Unit of Partner Inventory during any Use Year, a Member may only use RCI Points allocated in that Use Year and any RCI Points saved, borrowed, transferred or rented in or into that Use Year. A Member may make a Reservation for use of Vacation Time or a Unit of Partner Inventory in any future Use Year; provided that Use Year is within the term of the Member s Network Participation Agreement and the Network Dues have been paid through the Use Year in which the Vacation Time falls. Saved RCI Points shall be used first, followed by current RCI Points, rented RCI Points, transferred RCI Points that have been saved, transferred current RCI Points, and transferred rented RCI Points. c. Reservation Periods. Reservation Periods vary from Member to Member based on the terms of each individual Participation Agreement Examples of Network Reservation periods are as follows: i. Home Week Priority Period. The Home Week Priority Period is designed to support a Member s use of the Member s Fixed Vacation Time. During the Home Week Priority Period, a Member who Deposited Fixed Vacation Time has
the exclusive right to reserve the use of that Vacation Time, subject to the Network Documents. The Home Week Priority Period begins 396 days and ends 366 days (approximately 13 to 12 months) prior to the first day of occupancy of the Fixed Vacation Time. If a Member makes a Home Week Priority Reservation, it must be made for the full week, and the Member will use the entire allocation of RCI Points arising out of that Vacation Time to make the Reservation. ii. Home Resort Priority Period. The Home Resort Priority Period is designed to support a Member s use of Vacation Time at his/her Home Resort. During this period, Reservations of Vacation Time in the Home Resort are available on a first come first served basis exclusively to Members who Deposited Vacation Time at that Home Resort. The Home Resort Priority Period begins 365 days and ends 335 days (approximately 12 to 11 months) in advance of the start date of the relevant Vacation Time. If the Member makes a Home Resort Priority Period Reservation at the location where the Member Deposited Floating Time during the Member s floating use period, the reservation must be made for a full week, and the Member will use the entire allocation of RCI Points arising out of that Vacation Time to make the Reservation. iii. Home Group Priority Period. The Home Group Priority Period is designed to support a Member s use of Vacation Time at resorts in his/her Home Group (or the continued use of his/her Home Resort if his/her Home Resort is not part of a Home Group). During this period, Reservations of Vacation Time in the Home Group are available on a first come first served basis exclusively for Members who Deposited Vacation Time in that Home Group. The Home Group Priority Period begins 334 days and ends 304 days (approximately 11 to 10 months) prior to the start date of the relevant Vacation Time. iv. Standard Reservation Period. The Standard Reservation Period is the time period during which all Vacation Time at Affiliated Resorts becomes available for Reservation by all Members on a first come, first served basis. The Standard Reservation Period begins 303 days (approximately 10 months) in advance of the start date of the relevant Vacation Time. v. Nonstandard Periods. The Network Administrator reserves the right to provide a different Home Week Priority Period, Home Resort Priority Period, Home Group Priority Period or Standard Reservation Period other than those specified in these Terms and Conditions for designated Affiliated Resorts or specified Vacation Time. d. Priority Reservations. During the Member s Home Week Priority Period and Home Resort Priority Period, the Member may use no more than the number of RCI Points allocated from the Member s Deposit of Vacation Time. The Member may, however, use transferred or borrowed RCI Points for a Home Week Priority Reservation or a Home Resort Priority Reservation if the Member had previously used current RCI Points for another Reservation. e. Daily/Split Reservations. RCI Points Members may obtain a Daily or Split Reservation which entitles the Member to use a Unit at an Affiliated Resort for periods other than a one-week period. Minimum lengths of stay and the Reservation window applicable to a Daily/Split Reservation are determined by the Network Administrator at its sole discretion for each Affiliated Resort. A Member may not make a Daily/Split Reservation during the Home Week Priority Period and the Home Resort Priority Period. ALL VACATION TIME AT AFFILIATED RESORTS AND UNITS OF PARTNER INVENTORY ARE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY. ALL RESERVATIONS, EXCEPT THOSE MADE DURING THE HOME WEEK PRIORITY PERIOD ARE OFFERED ON A SPACE AVAILABLE, FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. ALL RESERVATIONS ARE CONTINGENT UPON THE MEMBER REQUESTING THE RESERVATION AND HAVING SUFFICIENT RCI POINTS TO OBTAIN THE DESIRED VACATION TIME OR PARTNER INVENTORY. USE YEAR LIMITS, BLACKOUT DATES, AND POINTS USE MAXIMUMS MAY APPLY AT SOME RESORTS AND WITH RESPECT TO SOME PARTNER INVENTORY. THE EARLIER A RESERVATION IS REQUESTED, THE BETTER THE POSSIBILITY THAT A CONFIRMED RESERVATION CAN BE OBTAINED. f. Making a Reservation. Reservations may be made in person, by mail, by facsimile, electronically at www. rci.com or by telephone. Reservation requests are to be made to the Network Administrator as follows: i. By telephone: 1-877-968-7476 ii. By facsimile: 1-317-805-9315 iii. By mail: RCI Points P.O. Box 2099 Carmel, IN 46082-9992 iv. In person: RCI 9998 North Michigan Road Carmel, Indiana 46032 Attention: RCI Points Network v. Electronically at: www.rci.com The Member will receive a written or electronic Confirmation, which must be presented upon check-in or, if not available, then the Confirmation detail provided by RCI for such purpose must be provided. g. Alternate Reservation Procedure (Floating Time). The Network Administrator may determine that Home Week, Home Resort or Home Group Reservations shall be made directly with the Home Resort or Home Group for certain Affiliated Resorts. If such determination is made, reservations other than Home Week, Home Resort or Home Group shall be made with the Network Administrator. h. Customer Care. Complaints about accommodations or services provided at an Affiliated Resort or accommodating party should be made at the earliest opportunity to a person in authority at the Affiliated Resort or accommodating party. In the event the Affiliated Resort or accommodating party does not resolve the matter to your satisfaction, you should contact RCI s Customer Care department online at www.rci.com, select the Contact RCI tab at the top of the screen, click on the United States and Canada link, then click on Send us an e-mail and fill out the online Feedback Form. Alternately, you may send an e-mail directly to rcipoints@rci.com, or send a letter to RCI s Customer Care department at P.O. Box 2099, Carmel, Indiana 46082-9992 or call 1-877-968-7476 with an urgent problem. RCI may be unable to assist with a resolution if you do not supply full details of the complaint within thirty (30) days of your return. 7. RESERVATION SYSTEM PRIORITIES. The Member should not rely on any representation that specific resort choices, additional benefits or specific Vacation Time can be guaranteed through the Network other than Home Week Priority Reservations. Home Resort and Home Group reservation requests may receive priority over the requests of Members who do not own Vacation Time at that Home Resort or Home Group. Other limitations, restrictions and priorities may be employed in the operation of the Network, including limitations based on seasonality, Unit size or other factors. These limitations may not be uniformly applied and as a result certain Vacation Time or Partner Inventory may be restricted in availability based upon applicable priorities and classification grouping of resorts, Vacation Time or benefits. Inventory is shared regionally to facilitate Member Exchanges. The Network Administrator may set aside Deposited Vacation Time to match regional Reservation requests and other demand needs. In any case, the Member must have the necessary allocation of RCI Points to reserve the desired Vacation Time or obtain the Partner Inventory. To increase the likelihood that specific resort choices and Vacation Time may be confirmed, Members are encouraged to request a Reservation as far in advance of requested Vacation Time as possible. The Network provides only the opportunity to obtain exchanges and does not provide the right to occupy any specific Unit or Unit types with the exception of reservations made during the Home Week Priority Period. 8. TRANSACTION FEES. The Network Administrator will collect the applicable Transaction fee prior to confirming each transaction requested by a Member. Transaction fees are established by the Network Administrator and may change from time to time and among Members. 9. BORROWING RCI POINTS. The Member may borrow RCI Points from the next Use Year so long as that Use Year is within the term of the Member s Network Participation Agreement and the Member s Network Dues have been paid in full through such Use Year. The Network Administrator may, at its sole discretion, suspend or otherwise limit the member s ability to borrow RCI Points and use of borrowed RCI Points. 10. SAVING and EXTENDING RCI POINTS. a. The Member may choose to save allocated RCI Points from the current Use Year into the next Use Year. RCI Points that have been previously saved cannot be saved into a subsequent Use Year. Rented RCI Points cannot be saved into another Use Year. If RCI Points are saved, used for a Reservation and such Reservation is then cancelled, the saved RCI Points shall remain in the Use Year into which they were saved. b. Eligible RCI Points will be automatically saved and the Member will be charged a transaction fee if the Member has not used any of its points by the end of a Use Year. RCI Points that have been saved must be used in the Use Year into which they were saved. If RCI Points are not used in the Use Year to which they have been saved, they will expire unless the Member chooses to extend previously saved but expiring Points for one (1) additional Use Year. A transaction fee shall apply. Saved RCI Points may be transferred to another Member, but those RCI Points are usable only within the transferee Member s current Use Year and may not be saved again. The Network Administrator, at its sole discretion, may suspend or otherwise limit the Member s ability to save or to use saved RCI Points. 11. TRANSFERRING RCI POINTS. The Member may transfer his/her RCI Points to another Member for use in the transferee Member s Use Year, so long as there is no compensation for the transfer. The transferee Member may return transferred RCI Points back to the transferor Member, but not to another Member. In order to transfer RCI Points, the Network Administrator must have received a completed authorization, in the form established by the Network Administrator. If the transferee Member subsequently cancels a Reservation fulfilled through the use of transferred RCI Points, the transferred RCI Points shall be returned to the transferee Member s account. The Network Administrator, at its sole discretion, may suspend or otherwise limit the Member s ability to transfer or to use transferred RCI Points. 12. RENTING RCI POINTS. The Network Administrator may, in its sole discretion, offer the Member the opportunity to rent additional RCI Points for use in any particular Use Year. The rental rate for RCI Points is determined by the Network Administrator and may change from time to time. There is no guarantee that the Member will be able to rent RCI Points, since the availability of RCI Points in any particular Use Year is dependent upon the availability of inventory in the Network Depository. If available, RCI Points rental is an opportunity provided only on a first-come, first serve basis. The Network Administrator reserves the right to restrict the total number of RCI Points that can be rented within the Network in any one Use Year, the total number that can be rented by a Member during a Use Year, and/or the Reservations for which rented RCI Points can be used. Rented RCI Points may only be used in the current Use Year and cannot be saved or transferred. Rental Points must be used in the year rented and do not establish or provide for any recurring use. The Member must pay the transaction fee for rental of RCI Points at the time the transaction is requested. The Network Administrator, at its sole discretion, may suspend or otherwise limit the Member s ability to rent of RCI Points. 13. CANCELLATIONS. A Member or guest may cancel or change a Confirmed Exchange by notifying the Network Administrator by telephone or in writing. The Network Administrator, at its sole discretion, may require a fee for cancellation based on the reason for cancellation, timeliness of cancellation, and type of Inventory or Points Partner Reservation as follows: a. RCI Points Affiliated Resort Reservations. i. Refund of Transaction Fee. The Member or guest may cancel an RCI Points Affiliated Resort Reservation and obtain a refund of the Transaction fee until the end of the next RCI business day following the date on which the Reservation is confirmed. No refund of the Transaction fee will be made thereafter, except that a Guest Certificate fee will be refunded if cancelled greater than sixty (60) days in advance of travel. ii. Refund of RCI Points. The Member or guest may cancel an RCI Points Affiliated Resort and obtain a 100% refund of the RCI Points used to make the reservation before the end of the next RCI business day following the date on which the Reservation was confirmed, if the Reservation was confirmed fifteen (15) or more calendar days prior to the starting time of the Reservation. If the Reservation was confirmed less than fifteen (15) days prior to the starting time of the Reservation, 25% of the RCI Points used will be refunded upon such cancellation. iii. After the end of the next RCI business day following the date on which the Reservation was confirmed, the Member or guest may cancel an RCI Points Affiliated Resort, but the amount of RCI Points refunded, if any, depends upon how far in advance of the confirmed dates the cancellation is made. The following sliding scale will be used to determine the percentage of the Member s RCI Points that may be refunded if the Member cancels an RCI Points Affiliated Resort Reservation less than one hundred twenty (120) days in advance of the start time of the Reservation: 120 Days or greater 100% refunded 119 Days to 61 days 75% refunded 60 Days to 30 days 50% refunded 29 Days or less 25% refunded iv. Refunded RCI Points that have not been previously saved return to the Use Year from which they originated unless that Use Year has passed. If that Use Year has passed, the RCI Points will be treated as auto-saved and will return to the current Use Year. No fee will be assessed for such auto-saving of RCI Points. If the RCI Points to be refunded have been previously saved and the Use Year into which such RCI Points were saved has passed, then such RCI Points shall be forfeited unless the Member extends such RCI Points. In such case a Transaction fee shall apply. v. Points Partner Reservations. All RCI Points Partner reservations are non-refundable, non-changeable and non-transferable, unless otherwise stated at the time of booking. The cancellation policy for Points Partner Reservations is subject to change. RCI may contract with a third party provider for the fulfillment and servicing of Point Partner transactions. The cancellation policy with respect to such transactions is subject to change at the discretion of the third party or RCI. The Network Administrator shall not be obligated to refund any RCI Points, transaction fees, or cash to Member. b. RCI Weeks Affiliated Resort Reservations. i. Members will have access to the RCI Weeks Exchange Program and may make a Reservation of available RCI Weeks inventory upon redemption of the number of RCI Points set forth in RCI Weeks grids published or made available at www.rci.com by the Network Administrator. If an RCI Weeks External Exchange is requested and space is unavailable, the Member may submit an ongoing request. RCI Points are deducted at the time the Reservation is made. ii. Refund of Transaction Fee. The Member or guest may cancel an RCI Weeks Exchange Reservation and obtain a refund of all but $109 USD of the Transaction Fee if cancelled more than sixty (60) days in advance of the start date of the Reservation. The entire Transaction Fee will be forfeited if the reservation is cancelled less than sixty-one (61) days in advance of the start date. For RCI Weeks Alternative Inventory Reservations, section 13 of the Terms and Conditions of the RCI Weeks Subscribing Membership shall apply. iii. Refund of RCI Points. The Member or guest may cancel an RCI Weeks Reservation and obtain a 100% refund of the RCI Points used to make the reservation before the end of the next RCI business day following the date on which the Reservation was confirmed, if the
Reservation was confirmed fifteen (15) or more calendar days prior to the starting date of the Reservation. If the Reservation was confirmed less than fifteen (15) days prior to the starting time of the Reservation, 25% of the RCI Points used will be refunded upon such cancellation. iv. After the end of the next RCI business day following the date on which the Reservation was confirmed, the Member or guest may cancel an RCI Weeks Reservation, but the amount of RCI Points refunded, if any, depends upon how far in advance of the confirmed date the cancellation is made. The following sliding scale will be used to determine the percentage of the Member s RCI Points that may be refunded if the Member cancels an RCI Weeks Reservation less than one hundred twenty (120) days in advance of the start time of the Reservation: 120 Days or greater 100% refunded 119 Days to 61 days 75% refunded 60 Days to 30 days 50% refunded 29 Days or less 25% refunded v. Refunded Points return to the Use Year from which they originated unless that Use Year has passed. In such case, the RCI Points will be treated as auto-saved and will return to the current Use Year. No fee will be assessed for this transaction. If the RCI Points associated with the confirmation being cancelled would have previously expired, the Member will forfeit the RCI Points. vi. RCI Vacation Protection offers the opportunity to protect a Member s RCI Points if an exchange vacation is cancelled. RCI Vacation Protection may be purchased up to 30 days after confirmation or up to 21 days before the start date of the Reservation, whichever occurs first. RCI Vacation Protection may be cancelled for a refund up to 14 days after purchase so long as such cancellation occurs more than 14 days before the start date of the Reservation. Vacation Protection is not available for Points Partner transactions. 14. WAIT LISTS. The Network Administrator may establish wait lists for particular Vacation Time. To be eligible to be placed on a wait list, the Member must be current in the payment of Network Dues and all other amounts due and payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. The Network Administrator reserves the right to limit the number of Members that may be on any wait list. 15. GUESTS/GUEST CERTIFICATES. A Member may give Deposited Vacation Time or a Confirmation or certain other benefits of membership, as RCI in its discretion may permit from time to time, to a friend or family member by purchasing a Guest Certificate from RCI at the then-current Guest Certificate fee on the date of issue. Confirmations for guests must be initiated by the Member, and Confirmations may be made in the guest s name. It is the responsibility of the Member to forward any and all correspondence and information regarding Guest Certificates and Confirmations to the guest. A Member may purchase a Guest Pass at the then-current fee for a stated period of time offered by RCI in its discretion from time to time. A Guest Pass allows the Member to give the named guest recipient the benefits of a Guest Certificate on multiple occasions during the stated period without the Member being required to pay an individual Guest Certificate fee for each transaction; provided that the Member has timely renewed his/her RCI Points Subscribing Membership, the subscribing membership has not been terminated, and the Member has not directed RCI to terminate the Guest Pass. The Member may terminate a Guest Pass at any time. The Guest Pass fee is non-refundable. No substitution of the named guest on the Guest Pass will be permitted. Guest Certificates may only be used by the individual(s) named on the certificate and their guests and may not be used by persons under the age of twenty-one (21). Guest Certificates are non-transferable, and may not be used for any commercial purpose, including auction, rental or sale. Their use is subject to any conditions, restrictions or limitations which may be imposed by the Host Resort. Members are responsible for all acts and omissions of their guests and for any damage caused or expenses incurred by their guests. RCI reserves the right, in its sole discretion (without refund or credit), to revoke a Confirmed Exchange or Guest Certificate, terminate or suspend the membership of the relevant Member, or deny access to any of the products or services offered in connection with membership in the event a Member or the Member s guests, or the holder of a Guest Certificate breach these Terms and Conditions. 16. NETWORK PARTNER INVENTORY. The Network Administrator anticipates the offering of Partner Inventory and may make such inventory available, at its sole discretion. Members of the Network may have the option to use a portion of their RCI Points to book, among other things, airline reservations, rental cars, and hotel stays as may be made available by the Network Administrator from time to time and will be subject to additional terms and conditions and may differ in accessibility for individuals with disabilities provided by the respective Partner Inventory provider. Use year limits, blackout dates and points use maximums may apply. Each of these Transactions may require a combination of fees, cash paid and RCI Points used, and may be subject to applicable taxes. 17. REPRESENTATIONS/WARRANTIES/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. a. Authority. The Member and the persons signing the Network Participation Agreement for the Member have full power and authority and have been duly authorized, to enter into and perform or cause performance of the Member s obligations under the before-mentioned Network Participation Agreement. If applicable, the Member has obtained all necessary approvals of Member s owners, Board of Directors and lenders. Each Member agrees that by signing the Network Participation Agreement, the Member represents and warrants to the Network Administrator that: (1) The Member has the legal right to use and assign the use of the Vacation Time and all other resort amenities to which the Member has access; (2) the Vacation Time has not been and will not during the term of the Member s participation be assigned, offered or made available to any third party outside the Network; (3) the physical accommodations in which the Member owns Vacation Time are in good and usable condition during the term of the Member s participation; and (4) all Vacation Time Expenses arising during the term of the Network Participation Agreement have been paid or will be paid by the Member when due. b. Status. To the best of Member s knowledge, neither Member, Member s Guests, Member s owners (if Member is an entity), Member s officers, managers, directors or employees nor anyone else affiliated or associated with Member, whether by common ownership, by contract, or otherwise, has been designated as, or is, a terrorist, a Specially Designated National or a Blocked Person under U.S. Executive Order 13224, in lists published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or otherwise. c. No Misrepresentations or Implied Covenants. All written information Member submits to the Network Administrator about the Member s Home Resort, Member, Member s owners, or the finances of any such person or entity, was or will be at the time delivered and when Member signs the Network Participation Agreement, true, accurate and complete, and such information contains no misrepresentation of a material fact, and does not omit any material fact necessary to make the information disclosed not misleading under the circumstances. There are no express or implied covenants or warranties, oral or written, between the Network Administrator and Member except as expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions. d. Reservations. Each Member acknowledges that options available to Members for Reservations and the procedures and conditions governing Reservations are set out in the various Network Documents, copies of which each Member has received. Such procedures and conditions are incorporated herein in their entirety. Each Member further acknowledges that his/her participation in the Network and use of Units at Affiliated Resorts and of Network Partner Inventory are subject to the Network Documents. e. Network Documents.

RCI Subscribing Member. As an RCI Points Subscribing Member, each Member acknowledges that he/she has access to the Network External Exchange Program in accordance with the Network Documents. Each Member acknowledges that, such access, use, occupancy and enjoyment of Vacation Time in and through the External Exchange Program is also governed by the Terms and Conditions of RCI Weeks Subscribing Membership, which may change from time to time in accordance with its terms. Each Member acknowledges that such Member has received a copy of the foregoing terms and conditions prior to executing the Network Participation Agreement. g. Units. Each Member acknowledges that, except for a confirmed Reservation during the Home Week Priority Period, the Unit for which a Member receives a confirmed Reservation may differ in unit size, design, furnishings, amenities, facilities and accessibility for individuals with disabilities from the Unit associated with such Member s Vacation Time. Each Member acknowledges that it is the sole responsibility of the owner, lessor, lessee or operator of any Affiliated Resort or the providers of Partner Inventory, and not the responsibility of the Network Administrator, to ensure its accommodations, facilities and amenities are accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. 18. INDEMNIFICATIONS. The Member will indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses and expenses, incurred by any Indemnitee for any investigation, claim, action, suit, demand, administrative or alternative dispute resolution proceeding, relating to or arising out of any transaction, occurrence or service at a resort, or involving personal injury or property damage, any breach or violation of any contract or any law, regulation or ruling by, or any act, error or omission (active or passive) of, the Member, any party associated or affiliated with the Member or any of the owners, officers, managers, directors, employees, agents or contractors of the Member or the Member s affiliates. The Member has no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for damages to compensate for property damage or personal injury if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final decision, not subject to further appeal, that the Indemnitee engaged in willful misconduct or intentionally caused such property damage or bodily injury. The Member will respond promptly to any matter described in the preceding paragraph, and defend the Indemnitee. The Member will reimburse the Indemnitee for all costs of defending the matter, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the Indemnitee if the Member s insurer or the Member does not assume defense of the Indemnitee promptly when requested, or separate counsel is appropriate, in the Network Administrator s discretion, because of actual or potential conflicts of interest. Indemnitee has the right to retain counsel of its choosing. The Network Administrator must approve any resolution or course of action in a matter that could directly or indirectly have any adverse effect on the Network Administrator, or could serve as a precedent for other matters. 19. ADMINISTRATION. a. Records, Statements. The Network Administrator will maintain records of all Reservations, use and allocation of RCI Points. The Network Administrator will make available to each Member a Points Statement, on a Use Year basis, which shall contain the activity of the Member for the prior Use Year. b. Late Check-In. Unless a Member or guest informs the check-in desk at a particular resort or the applicable Partner Inventory provider that they anticipate checking in later than the arrival time designated within a confirmed Reservation, the arriving Member or guest risks forfeiture of such Reservation and the RCI Points used to make such Reservation, consistent with Section 13. c. Applicable Limitations and Requirements. Various limitations exist for Affiliated Resorts and with respect to Partner Inventory (e.g., occupancy limitations, baggage limitations) and requirements related to Units at Affiliated Resorts or Partner Inventory provided with optional or mandatory All Inclusive Packages. Each Member and guest shall observe applicable occupancy limitations, and shall comply with any terms and conditions set forth by the respective Affiliated Resort and/or Partner Inventory provider. d. Relationship Between the Network Administrator and Affiliated Resort. i. The Network, the Affiliated Resorts and the providers of Partner Inventory are separate and distinct entities and the services provided by the Network are separate and distinct from the products or services that are sold by or on behalf of the Affiliated Resort or Partner Inventory provider. While the Network Administrator may have entered into a Network Affiliation Agreement with a Home Resort or Home Group or an agreement with a Partner Inventory provider, the Network Administrator does not have the ability to control the operations or the access to facilities (including access for individuals with disabilities) of the Home Resort or Home Group or the Partner Inventory provider. Thus, the Network Administrator is not responsible or liable for the actions or omissions of Affiliated Resorts or of Partner Inventory providers. ii Each Affiliated Resort is a party to an agreement with the Network Administrator. These Terms and Conditions are separate and distinct from the Network Administrator s agreement with the Affiliated Resort. iii. The Network Administrator and the Affiliated Resort, developer, marketer or seller of Vacation Time are separate and distinct entities, and the Network and the products or services that are sold by or on behalf of the Affiliated Resort, including but not limited to Vacation Time, are also separate and distinct. Neither the Network Administrator nor the Network Depository own, develop, market or sell Vacation Time, nor are either one engaged in a joint venture, partnership or agency relationship with the Affiliated Resort, developer, marketer or seller of Vacation Time. Further, these Terms and Conditions are separate and distinct from each Member s agreement with the Affiliated Resort, developer, marketer or seller of Vacation Time. iv. If the Affiliated Resort fails to perform the obligations in its agreement with the Network Administrator, or if that agreement ends for any reason, the resort may lose its Affiliated Resort status. The Network Administrator may, at its option, continue to honor existing memberships for the remainder of their term despite loss by the Affiliated Resort of its status as an Affiliated Resort. The Network Administrator may, at its option, also cancel existing Vacation Time or the relevant RCI Points following the loss by the resort of its status as an Affiliated Resort. v. Each Member s decision to purchase Vacation Ownership should be based primarily upon the benefits to be gained from the ownership, use and enjoyment of such Member s Vacation Time at the Affiliated Resort and not upon the anticipated benefits of the Network. The Affiliated Resort at which a Member purchases Vacation Ownership is solely responsible for its financial viability and the quality of its accommodations, facilities, amenities, management and services, and compliance with all laws, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, ensuring its accommodations, facilities and amenities are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Each Member acknowledges that the Network Administrator is not the owner, lessor, lessee or operator of any Affiliated Resort or Partner Inventory. e. Information on Affiliated Resorts and Partner Inventory. Information about Affiliated Resorts and Partner Inventory provided by the Network is based on information obtained from Affiliated Resorts and Partner Inventory providers. While the Network Administrator will make reasonable efforts to ensure that information provided by the Network to the Members is accurate and complete as of the date such information is published by the Network, the Network Administrator expressly disclaims any liability for inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information and has no obligation to update such information concerning any Affiliated Resort or Partner Inventory provider. f. Cancellation by Network Administrator. Reservations may be cancelled by the Network Administrator with respect to any resort which ceases to be an Affiliated Resort or any Points Partner which ceases to offer Partner Inventory in this program. Upon any such cancellation, the applicable RCI Points will be returned to the Member. The Network Administrator may also cancel a Reservation due to an Event of Force Majeure (as defined in Section 27) which renders the Unit or Unit of Partner Inventory uninhabitable or unusable. Upon any such cancellation, the Member will not receive a refund of RCI Points used for that Reservation. In addition, the Network Administrator may cancel a Reservation following the suspension or termination of a Member s membership in the Network. Upon any such cancellation, the Member will not receive a refund of RCI Points used for that Reservation. g. Withdrawal of Benefits. The Network Administrator may withdraw benefits, including Vacation Time at Affiliated Resorts and Units of Partner Inventory, or suspend or terminate the affiliation of Home Resorts or Home Groups with the Network in accordance with the following: i. In the event an Affiliated Resort is not operated in a commercial or reasonable manner that enables it to meet its obligations or is otherwise not in compliance with the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of the Network or if there is a termination of the Network Affiliation Agreement; ii. In the event a resort is destroyed or condemned or otherwise not suitable for use, the resort may be withdrawn from the Network; iii. In the event the legal existence of the property regime at the resort is terminated, then the Affiliated
